10Who hath bene tried thereby, and found perfit? then let him glory. Who might offend and hath not offended, or done euill, and hath not done it? 11His goods shall be established, and the congregatiō shall declare his almes. 12If thou sit at a bountifull table, bee not greedy vpon it, and say not, There is much meate on it. 13Remember that a wicked eye is an euill thing: and what is created more wicked then an eye? therefore it weepeth vpon euery occasion. 14Stretch not thine hand whithersoeuer it looketh, and thrust it not with him into the dish.
